Emmaus Homes "Open Your Heart Through Art"

Emmaus Homes is a faith-based organization serving more than 250 people with developmental disabilities in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The mission of Emmaus is to enhance the quality of life for adults of all beliefs who have cognitive, intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Our clients range in age from young adults to seniors and have diverse backgrounds, interests, and abilities.

All artwork featured in Emmaus Homes' gallery was created by our clients, whether through art classes provided by Emmaus, our Spirited Activity Services, or through clients' personal hobbies. The art is showcased at our annual Open Your Heart Through Art event in St. Charles, MO. Our clients receive 50% of any profit received from a piece of artwork that they submitted; the other 50% helps Emmaus Homes meet our annual $2.5 million funding gap so that we can continue providing high quality services to our clients.
